Roma vs Cagliari takes center stage at the Stadio Olimpico tonight, with both teams in contrasting states of form. The Giallorossi, revitalized under new coach Daniele De Rossi, seek their third straight Serie A win, while Cagliari battle relegation concerns after consecutive losses.
Since taking the reins, De Rossi has masterminded back-to-back 2-1 victories, propelling Roma into fifth place. Paulo Dybala and Lorenzo Pellegrini shone in their last outing against Salernitana, showcasing the attacking threat Roma possesses. Their home form is formidable, boasting seven wins in their last nine Serie A matches.
Cagliari, in stark contrast, find themselves in the relegation zone after two defeats. Nicolas Viola's consolation goal against Torino offered faint hope, but their away record is concerning, with eight losses in 12 Serie A trips. Claudio Ranieri's men face a daunting task against a rejuvenated Roma side at the Stadio Olimpico.
Historically, Roma vs Cagliari has been a one-sided affair. The Giallorossi boast 44 wins in their 96 meetings, compared to Cagliari's 24. In their recent encounters, Roma enjoys a three-game winning run, including a convincing 4-1 victory in the reverse fixture. Additionally, five of the last six Roma vs Cagliari clashes witnessed over 2.5 goals, suggesting an entertaining encounter could be on the cards.
Considering Roma's current momentum, their impressive home record against Cagliari, and the Isolani's struggles on the road, a comfortable win for the Giallorossi seems likely. However, Cagliari's fight for survival should not be underestimated, and they might pose a threat on the counter-attack. De Rossi's men will be keen to continue their winning streak and solidify their position in the top half of the table, while Cagliari desperately need points to escape the relegation zone. This Roma vs Cagliari clash promises an intriguing battle between a team on the rise and one desperately seeking to avoid the drop.
